About this time last year, Luther Head was playing college ball for Illinois. Now he’s starting at point guard for the Houston Rockets. Over the past five games, he’s averaging 15.2 ppg, 5.6 rpg and 4.0 apg, along with 1.4 steals and 3.4 treys. More importantly, he’s still getting major minutes now that T-Mac is back. While his FG% (.391) isn’t great, his FT% (.739) isn’t bad and it’s nice to get help in all of those categories from a PG.

Go get him.

A great way to determine a player’s fantasy performance is his efficiency performance. For those not familiar, here is the NBA’s efficiency equation:

EFF = ((Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks) – ((Field Goals Att. – Field Goals Made) + (Free Throws Att. – Free Throws Made) + Turnovers))

The rating takes into account all of the stats that are used to calculate the 9 major fantasy basketball categories.

Here are the Top 20 players, based on their average efficiency ratings for their last 10 games:

1. Elton Brand 29.9
2. Kevin Garnett 29.4
3. Tim Duncan 28.8
4. Marcus Camby 28.4
5. Shawn Marion 28.4
6. Allen Iverson 28.3
7. Lebron James 27
8. Paul Pierce 26.7
9. Dwyane Wade 26.5
10. Dirk Nowitzki 25
11. Chris Bosh 24.9
12. Kobe Bryant 23.7
13. Richard Jefferson 23.4
14. Jermaine O’Neal 23.3
15. Peja Stojakovic 23.1
16. Chris Webber 22.2
17. Antawn Jamison 22
18. Gilbert Arenas 21.3
19. Ricky Davis 21.2
20. Dwight Howard 20.8

Apparently, Doug Christie’s knee injury has him considering retirement. The main beneficiary of this move would be Marquis Daniels, who has averaged 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal since Christie has been out.

Go get him.
